Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for removing mercury species, in particular, elemental mercury, from hot flue gas produced in a fossil-fuel energy conversion plant.
- exhaust gases of fossil-fuel fired power plants may contain mercury in elemental, oxidized, and particulate forms. Elemental mercury in the exhaust gases does not stick to soot and other particles, but tends to remain in vapor form even after the exhaust gases are cooled to about 65° C. Therefore, elemental mercury in the exhaust gases is not recovered by conventional dust removal devices, such as, electrostatic precipitators, fabric filters, or conventional scrubbers, but is, instead, released into the atmosphere.
- High mercury emissions in the exhaust gases from municipal solid waste incinerators are often regulated with powdered, activated carbon being injected into the exhaust gases upstream of the air pollution control devices.
- the level of mercury emissions per unit volume of flue gases from power plants is about one or two orders of magnitude lower than that emitted from waste incinerators. This makes it very difficult to capture such low mercury concentration levels from power plants by using the current activated carbon technology in a cost-effective manner.
- mercury chlorides Many fuels contain chlorine, which reacts with a portion of the mercury in the flue gases to form mercury chlorides.
- Gaseous mercury chlorides tend to condense on fly ash particles or on high surface area sorbents, which may effectively be removed from exhaust gases by conventional dust removal devices.
- Mercury chlorides are also highly soluble in water and, thus, they may be removed from the flue gas by absorption in the aqueous solutions of wet scrubbing units.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,435,980 discloses increasing the amount of chloride supplied to a spray dryer when cleaning flue gas that results from combusting coal having a low chloride content in order to convert elemental Hg to HgCl 2 .
- the chloride increase is performed by incorporating, e.g., an alkaline metal salt solution in the aqueous suspension of basic absorbent in the spray dryer, by supplying chlorine-containing material to the coal in the furnace or by injecting gaseous HCl into the flue gas downstream of the furnace.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,900,042 suggests reacting a gas stream with, e.g., a chlorine solution or chloric acid (HClO 3 ) to convert elemental mercury in the gas stream to soluble mercury compounds, and passing the gas stream through a wet scrubber.
- European patent publication No. 0 860 197 suggests adding a mercury chlorinating agent, e.g., hydrogen chloride (HCl) or ammonium chloride (NH 4 Cl), to exhaust gas upstream of a catalytic NO x reduction unit to convert elemental mercury into mercury chloride (HgCl 2 ) on the denitrating catalyst.
- a mercury chlorinating agent e.g., hydrogen chloride (HCl) or ammonium chloride (NH 4 Cl
- HCl hydrogen chloride
- NH 4 Cl ammonium chloride
- An object of the present invention is to provide a new and efficient method and apparatus for removing mercury from hot flue gas.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for effectively removing low levels of mercury from a voluminous flue gas stream.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a method and an apparatus for effectively removing mercury from hot flue gas and minimizing corrosion in a flue gas duct.
- Still a further object of the present invention is to provide a low cost method and apparatus for simultaneously removing mercury and nitrogen oxides from hot flue gas.
- the present invention provides a method of removing mercury from flue gas containing mercury and particulate solids emanating from a fossil-fuel energy conversion plant and passing through a flue gas duct.
- the method comprises the following steps: (a) contacting the mercury in the flue gas with a solution containing chloride-containing salt dissolved in, for example, water by injecting the solution into the flue gas duct at an injection location in order to oxidize mercury into HgCl 2 , (b) heating the solution prior to or after step (a) to at least about 300° C., and (c) removing oxidized mercury from the flue gas with means for removing particulate solids from the flue gas.
- the present invention provides a novel apparatus for removing mercury from flue gas, as described in the independent apparatus claims.
- the present invention provides an apparatus for removing mercury from flue gas containing mercury and particulate solids emanating from a fossil-fuel energy conversion plant.
- the apparatus comprises a flue gas duct for conveying exhaust gases; either (i) means for heating a solution of chloride-containing salt dissolved in, for example, water to at least about 300° C.
- the oxygen in the flue gas oxidizes at least a portion of the Hg to HgO.
- a small fraction of the HgO condenses on fly ash particles in the flue gas and, thus, can be removed from the flue gas with means for removing particulate solids from the flue gas, such as an electrostatic precipitator or a fabric filter.
- a basic idea of the present invention is that elemental mercury in the flue gas is effectively oxidized to mercury chlorides by contacting the mercury with a solution containing chloride-containing salt dissolved in a solvent such as water and heated to at least about 300° C. During heating, the salt in the solution dissociates into molecules and ions. Thus, heating of the solution improves the capability of the salt to convert the mercury in the flue gas to HgCl 2 .
- the injection location is selected so that either (i) the flue gas temperature therein is from about 650° C. to about 980° C., causing the solution to be rapidly heated to at least about 300° C. in the flue gas duct, or (ii) the flue gas temperature therein is below about 650° C. and the solution is heated to at least about 300° C. prior to its injection into the flue gas duct.
- the chloride-containing salt is ammonium chloride (NH 4 Cl).
- NH 4 Cl ammonium chloride
- a solution of NH 4 Cl in a solvent such as water is injected into the flue gas duct in an injection location at which the flue gas temperature is above about 650° C.
- the NH 4 Cl in the solution is rapidly heated up and dissociates into many forms, including Cl ⁇ and NH4 + ions, and Cl 2 , NH 3 and HCl molecules.
- the flue gas cools down in the flue gas duct, the chlorine species react with Hg and HgO at and below about 370° C., and mostly HgCl 2 is formed.
- the injection location is preferably at an upstream portion of the flue gas duct so that the chlorine species formed from the NH 4 Cl have sufficient retention time to convert most of the elemental mercury to HgCl 2 .
- the injection location is such that the temperature of the flue gas is above about 700° C., even more preferably above about 800° C.
- the NH 3 formed from the NH 4 Cl reduces the nitrogen oxide level of the flue gas according to a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) process.
- SNCR selective non-catalytic reduction
- the reaction rate of NH 3 with NOx decreases substantially below about 700° C.
- the NH 4 Cl solution is advantageously injected immediately downstream of the furnace of the boiler, preferably in the channel between the furnace and the hot loop cyclone of the boiler. At this location, the temperature is typically above about 800° C., and the concentration of ash and unburned fuel particles is relatively high.
- the NH 4 Cl is advantageously injected immediately downstream of the furnace, where the temperature is typically above about 800° C., and the exhaust gas still contains unburned carbon particles.
- the NH 4 Cl solution is advantageously heated to some extent, e.g., to between about 100° C. and about 200° C., before it is injected into the flue gas duct.
- the higher initial temperature of the solution speeds up the dissociation of NH 4 Cl into many ions and molecules in the flue gas duct, thus assuring that the desired chlorine compounds and ions are formed before the flue gas is cooled to about 370° C., where significant HgCl 2 formation begins.
- the NH 4 Cl solution is first heated to above about 300° C. so that the NH 4 Cl molecules dissociate e.g., into NH 3 and HCl molecules, before the solution is injected into the flue gas duct.
- the solution can be injected into flue gas at a lower temperature, because HCl and other chlorine compounds and ions can immediately react with Hg and form HgCl 2 .
- the injected NH 3 can be utilized for reducing the NO x level of the flue gas, e.g., in a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit.
- SCR selective catalytic reduction
- the chloride-containing salt is selected from a group consisting of sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium chloride (KCl) and calcium chloride (CaCl 2 ). Similar to the other preferred salts, these salts can be injected into a high temperature zone of the flue gas duct and be rapidly heated therein to at least about 300° C., or they are heated at least to a minimum temperature before being injected into a lower temperature zone of the flue gas duct. The minimum heating temperatures vary with the form of the chloride-containing salt, but generally they are between about 300° C. and about 700° C.
- the HgCl 2 molecules have a much higher tendency to condense on fly ash particles in the flue gas than does elemental mercury.
- a sufficient amount of chloride-containing salt is injected into the flue gas as described above, practically all of the elemental mercury in the flue gas is oxidized, and the amount of remaining elemental mercury is reduced to trace levels.
- Conventional low-temperature dust collectors advantageously located at a temperature between about 130° C. and about 170° C., can be used to remove more than about 90% of the oxidized or particulate mercury.
- the dust collector may be, e.g., an electrostatic precipitator or a fabric filter. Between these two alternatives, the fabric filter seems to be more effective. I believe this is because HgCl 2 molecules have a higher probability of condensing on the dust collected on the filter bags.
- the amount of fly ash can be advantageously increased by circulating a portion of fly ash collected in the particulate removing equipment back to the flue gas duct.
- the portion of the circulated fly ash is selected so that the fly ash content in the flue gas is increased to at least about 1 g/Nm 3 .
- the solids concentration in the flue gas can rise as high as to about 1000 g/Nm 3 , depending on variables such as the ash surface porosity, sulfur oxides level, chlorine concentration in the input solids, moisture content of flue gas and operating temperature.
- the circulated fly ash may also be treated before it is injected back to the flue gas duct, thereby improving its ability to remove the HgCl 2 from the flue gas.
- One method of treating the fly ash entails screening out larger particle from the smallest particles, e.g., by a cyclone, from the fly ash before reinjecting the fly ash into the flue gas duct.
- the fine particle fraction increases the mercury chloride removal, especially because of its high surface area and porous surface structure, which is related to its relatively high content of unburnt carbon.
- the fly ash can also catalyze the oxidation of elemental mercury in the presence of HCl in the flue gas. This effect can be enhanced by adding to the recirculated fly ash substances which catalyze the oxidation of mercury, e.g., trace metal oxides such as Fe 2 O 3 or CuO.
- Mercury removal can be further improved by removing the HgCl 2 molecules, which have not been removed from the flue gas with a dust collector. At least a portion of the remaining HgCl 2 molecules can be removed by the absorbing material or solution in a spray dryer or a wet scrubber located downstream in the flue gas duct.
- the price of NH 4 Cl is about the same as that of activated carbon.
- the reaction between Hg and Cl-containing particles, e.g., HCl molecules is a gas phase reaction, no physical adsorption is required and, thus, for the same mercury reduction effect, the required quantity of NH 4 Cl is less than that of activated carbon.
- the use of activated carbon for mercury reduction is avoided, the increase of carbon in the ash is avoided. This improves the beneficial uses of the ash.
- the quantity of chloride-containing salt used in the injection depends on the type of fuel employed and, especially, on the mercury and chlorine content of the fuel. When there is more chlorine in the fuel, less salt is required for sufficient mercury oxidation. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the quantity of injected chloride-containing salt is such that the level of chlorine in the flue gas is equal to or less than that which would result from combusting fuel having a fuel chlorine content of 0.3% in dry fuel feed.
- the desired chlorine concentration of the flue gas may correspond to that created by fuel having a 0.1-0.2% chlorine content, i.e., typically about 100 to about 200 ppm chlorine concentration in the flue gas.
- a molar ratio of at least 100:1 between the HCl and Hg levels in the flue gas is used in oxidizing the Hg to HgCl 2 .
- the required ratio of the HCl and Hg levels in the flue gas may be much more than 100:1, e.g., 1000:1 or even more up to 50000:1.
- An upper limit for the quantity of chloride-containing salt used in the injection is determined by a desire to avoid any corrosion of the flue gas duct or the heat recovery surfaces and other equipment therein.
- the present invention provides a novel method and apparatus for adding chlorine species into mercury-containing flue gas, wherein the method and apparatus improve the use of the injected chlorine.
- the method and apparatus improve the use of the injected chlorine.
- the present invention can be applied to many types of fossil-fuel conversion plants. These include, e.g., circulating and bubbling fluidized bed combustors and gasifiers, pulverized fuel firing and gasifying plants and waste incinerators.

- Exhaust gases produced in the furnace 14 and bed particles entrained with the exhaust gases are discharged through a channel 18 in the upper part of the furnace 14 to a solids separator 20 .
- the solids separator 20 which is usually a cyclone, most of the bed particles are separated from the exhaust gases and returned to the furnace 14 via a return duct 22 .
- the exhaust gases are led from the separator 20 to an exhaust gas duct 24 , which comprises heat transfer surfaces 26 and 28 for cooling the exhaust gases and for producing steam and heating the fluidizing air 16 , respectively.
- the cooled, exhaust gases are conducted to a dust separator 30 , which may be an electrostatic dust separator or a bag filter separator.

- the exhaust gas duct 24 may comprise additional gas cleaning equipment, such as a catalyst for reducing NO x emissions and a wet scrubber or a spray dryer for reducing SO 2 emissions. Such additional gas cleaning equipment is, however, not shown in FIG. 1 .
- a solution of chloride-containing salt, dissolved in a solvent such as water, is injected into the channel 18 between the furnace 14 and the particle separator 20 by injection means 36 .
- the temperature of the exhaust gases is typically at least about 700° C.

- NaCl sodium chloride
- KCl potassium chloride
- CaCl 2 calcium chloride
- the chloride-containing salt When the chloride-containing salt is injected at an early stage of the exhaust gas duct 24 , the high temperature of the exhaust gases causes rapid dissociation of the molecules. This early injection location also guarantees a long retention time for the solution so that all salt dissociation has taken place when the exhaust gases are cooled to the onset temperature of the HgCl 2 formation, which is about 370° C.
